Patent CA-2763994-A1 (CA)
Title: Multiple fuel tank system
Inventor: KRAUSE PAUL
IPC: B60K15/03
Filed: 2012-01-10
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a mobile machine, such as hydronic surface heater designed to be transported to a potentially remote worksite and operated for an extended period of time. The machine has a fueled component, such as a burner, fueled by a fuel supply system having at least two fuel tanks that are operably connected to one another by a connection line having a valve therein. The valve may be coupled to the machine's electrical system, such as being coupled to the output of the machine's main breaker, so as to automatically be opened whenever the machine is operating but to be otherwise closed. The fuel supply system thus has, in effect, a single tank when the machine is running and multiple separated tanks when the machine is not running. Fuel spill risks therefore are mitigated without having to sacrifice operating time and without significantly complicating the machine's fuel supply systems or its controls.

Patent CA-2766698-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUBBE CARL HERMANUS
IPC: A62D3/02
Filed: 2010-06-24
Abstract: Systems and methods for chemoremediation or mechanical destruction of undetonated explosive materials. An explosive apparatus contains an explosive material in close proximity to a chemical reagent selected for its chemoremediative properties. A barrier is interposed between the explosive material and the chemical reagent to delay the chemoremediation of the explosive material. Alternatively a water expandable material may be incorporated into the explosive material, whereby upon exposure to moisture the water absorbing material will expand sufficiently to fragment the explosive material into initiation insensitive particles. Initiation insensitivity is achieved by incorporation of water, which acts as a desensitizing agent as well as fragmenting the explosive material into particles sufficiently small that they are below the critical diameter for explosive initiation. The present invention also relates to self-degradable, shaped explosive formulations, comprising an explosive material and a water expandable material.
